m. Today's attendance at the Exposition should rank next to that of Dedication Day. It is the Queen's birthday, a hollday which all the Dominion loves to venerate. Buffalo has always been a popular visiting place for the Canadians on this holiday. This year, with the Exposition to attract our neighbors, there is no telling what the number be.

In compliment to the Canadians the Exposition management has arranged a special musical programme, the numbers of which are of great interest to residents of the Dominion. Concerts by all four bands, the 65th, 74th, 71st and the Mexican Artillery Band, are given in the morning afternoon and evening. The attendance today has a distinctly Canadian flavor. Thousands of the thrifty folk from across the line streamed through the gates, in small groups at first but toward noon in torrents. Almost all had lunch baskets, too, to the discomfiture of the restaurant concessionaire.

The Canadian visitors, did not contribute largely to the coffers of any of the concessionaires. They seemed perfectly content with what could be seen for the original 50 cents paid at the gate. They admired the buildings and grounds and inspected the exhibits in the various structures, but of the seldom Midway saw more attractions. than Seldom nave the solid attractions of the Exposition had more warm and discriminating admirers. CARRIER PIGEONS HEARD FROM.

Supt. Frank A. Converse of the Division of Live Stock who had charge of the flight of the carrier pigeons on Dedication Day has received word from two of the white-winged messengers. T. J.

Kavanaugh of Rosemere, near Cleveland who had six birds in the flight, wrote that two of the flock arrived at their loft in 5 hours 45 minutes and 5 hours, 48 minutes respectively. The distance flown was 188 miles. Supt. Converse reports that the enthusiasm of pigeon fanciers is. so warm that another flight of from 5000 to 8000 will be arranged for Flag Day, the 14th of June.

HUNDREDS OF CHICKS. A special report made to of Live Stock Exhibits, Frank A. Converse this morning, shows that in one building ground there have been births at the rate of 50 a day. This is the Incubator building. Little chickens and ducks are hatched before the eyes of the spectators, under glass, and seem to thrive on the care given them by their glass and wooden mothers, The incubator exhibit, rapidly becoming one of the most popular on the grounds, is located in Pavillion of the Live Stock group, a building situated on the Mall near the East Amherst gate, There are four exhibitors represented: Marilla company of Rose Hill, the Cornell of Ithaca, Successful of Des Moines, and the Cyphers of WayThe exhibitors are working together and arrange the placing of the eggs in the incubators, so that at least one of the four has a hatching every day.

Farmers and their wives and many city folks gather about the machines where the hatching is taking place every day. The other day two sportively inclined individuals made a bet as to which of two little chicks would get clear of its shell first. There are at present 100 young ducks and 500 young chickens in the building, all hatched on the grounds. AGRICULTURE BUILDING.

NEW FRUIT EXHIBITED. A new fruit was placed on exhibition at the pomological display in Horticulture building today. It is the "Loquot," a distinct species of fruit that grows in Japan. No one ever heard of a loquot in this market, but the samples shown have the look and the appearance that promises much in the way of Some patriotic soul in the lower reaches of Callfornia has gone into the work of developing the loquot and these specimens are probably the first fruit ever seen on exhibition in this part of the world.

(By Associated Press.) LONDON, May explosion occurred this morning at the Universal Colliery at Senghonydd, in the Rhendda Valley. About: a hundred men were in the pit at the time of the disaster and there is little hope of saving the lives of any of them. Later- The rescuers at the Universal Colliery are working with the greatest difficulty, owing to lack of air. Five bodies 1 have been recovered.

There are 78 miners missing. UNION STATION COMMISSION WILL MEET TOMORROW. Calls Members Together to Perfect an Organization and Get Down to Business. Mayor Diehl this morning sent out notices to the newly appointed members the Union Station Commission to meet In his office tomorrow morning. The meeting is set for 11:30 o'clock and, it is expected, every commissioner will present.

"I have called this meeting," said the "so that the commissioners can perfect an organization. They will have much responsible work to do and the sooner a beginning is made, the sooner something will be accomplished. The ften men I have appointed are all anxious JAMES R. GARFIELD OF CLEVELAND WAS IN CHAIR, Several Interesting Speeches Delivered at Tax Conference This Morning, MR. JUDSON SPOKE ON TAXING MORTGAGES, He Said Such Procedure Would Not Be Permissible in New York State--Other Papers.

Hon. James R. Garfield of Cleveland, presided at this morning's session of the National Civic Federation, and in his opening remarks announced that owing to the large attendance and the many papers to be read it had been decided to extend the conference Into tomorrow. "The final session," said he, "will be held tomorrow morning. I would urge as many of the delegates as can do so to remain." Frederick L.

Judson of St. Louis read a paper on "Taxation of mortgages." SUBSTITUTE SINGLE TAX. Prof. Max West and others participated in the ensuing discussion. Mr.

Bates of Ohio said If no equitable method could be devised to levy taxation on intangible property, he would favor the abolition of present methods, and the substitution of the single tax Idea. Mr. Wayne of Indiana declared that State has the best system of any State in the Union for the collection of taxes on personal property. He said the State's annual revenue from that source Is $450,000,000. The discussion became too general in nature, and the chair was obliged to remind the debaters that they had strayed from the subject of the paper.

Dr. R. H. Whitten of Albany, Sociology Librarian at the State Library, read an interesting paper on "Inheritance Taxation." He rehearsed the history of the Inheritance tax movement in this State and told what other States have accomplished in the matter of collecting inheritance taxation. He enumerated the many advantages of raising revenue in this way.

After the a discussion, provoked by Mr. Whitten's paper, had taken place, Judge T. E. Howard of Indiana talked at length on the tax laws in vogue in Indiana. After discussing the subject in a general way he outlined what is known as California plan, whereby mortgage interest and the equity of the mortgagor are taxed separately as distinct Interests in the land.

This system, he averred, though recommended by economists and sanctioned by the courts, had proved ineffective. He also referred to the experience of Missouri in taxing mortgages and concluded as follows: PROHIBITED BY CONSTITUTION. "It was proposed In New York to levy reduced tax upon mortgages, that 1s, smaller rate than that levled upon real state. But It did not succeed. Such a remedy could not be permissible prohibit a la the tax too tort WORK ON THE RAPID TRANSIT TUNNEL TIED UP.

The Head of the Central Union Condemns the Strike. SAYS IT BREAKS PLEDGED WORD. The Men Had No Grievance and Were Bound to Arbitrate Differences I If Any Arose. (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, May on the rapid transit tunnel is practically tied up today. All the skilled labor of every form is idle from 108th street down to City Hall, and only diggers or ordinary laborers are doing anything in the tunnel at all.

The strike arose but of a demand of the rock drillers for $2.75 for an eighthour day and 70 cents an hour for overThese demands sent in yesterday, to the various were, sub-contractors and only those contractors above 108th street met the agreement. There were some few men around the rock drillers' headquarters today waiting for news. They said they were confident that the strike would be a short one, and that the contractors would give in without much arguing. President Callas of the Central Federated Union said: "I am surprised and pained that this thing should have occurred. I fear that the public to will misunderstand it.

The men on tunnel work had no grievance. I do not wish to be put in the position of criticising the men I represent, but we had an agreement with Mr. McDonald that we would submit any question in regard hours or pay to arbitration before ordering a strike, and I cannot conceive why walking delegates should have taken this action: Mr. McDonald has been eminently fair, and the tunnel workers have absolutely no complaint. I am sorry to have to make this statement, but it is the truth that the strike has violated our pledged word." DOWIE IS HELD FOR GRAND JURY, The Coroner's Jury Found Him Criminally Responsible for Mrs.

Judd's Death. (By Associated Press.) CHICAGO, May Alexadner Dowle, "overseer of the Christian Catholic Church," was arrested here today pursuant to the action of the coroner's jury, which has declared him "criminally responsible" for the death of Mrs. Emma Lucy Judd. H. Worthington Judd, a disciple of Dowie the husband of the alleged victim, also was arrested, having 'appeared at the Criminal Court building in company with Dowie.

Both men were taken before Judge Tuley, who admitted them to bail. Henrikka Bratach and Mary B. Speicher, "maternity" nurses, who are said to have attended Mrs. Judd, were arrested last night and later released under bonds. Mrs.

Judd died a week ago at Dowie's "Zion" after 16 hours' of suffering. Her infant also died, and on expert medical testimony before the coroner that the ordinary treatment given at childbirth by medical practitioners would have saved her life Judd, the two nurses and Dowie are now held to await the action of the grand jury. For Dowie and Judd bonds were fixed at $10,000 each, while the women were released on sureties of $5000 each. THE CONDUCTOR AND THE TIGER.

As a Result Company Cannot Grant Demands and 2200 Men Are Thrown Out of Employment. From circumstances which have entered into the situation relative to the transfer of the Brooks Locomotive Works to the American Locomotive Company, it appears the 2200 employes of the company are liable to be idle some time by reason of the strike of the machinists.

Not only has the company gone as far as it can in advance of the change of ownership of the works, but the attitude of the machinists in refusing to enter into negotiations with the company upon any basis whatever, except that of a virtual ultimatum, is lieved to preclude any hope of settlement. In a statement which he dictated to a NEWS reporter this morning Frederick H. Stevens, president of the Brooks Locomotive Works, indicated that the details connected with the consummation of the big combination, make it a matter of no immediate concern whether work is resumed for the present or not. "I have received a telegram from Harvey Fisk Son, bankers for the underwriters," said Mr. Stevens, "authorizing us to proceed at once with ventory as provided for in our original agreement or contract of sale of the Brooks Locomotive Works to the American Locomotive Company.

Directly on completion of this inventory the American Locomotive Company will assume control of our plant." "How will the strike affect this ness procedure?" "It won't affect it at all," was the reply. "Ag to the status of the strike at this time, I can say that we greatly regret it for the reason that in enforcing us to shut down our works, a lot of men are thrown out of work who are in nowise concerned in the strike. TRIED TO AVERT STRIKE. "We did everything we could to avert this Mr. Stevens continued, "as the published correspondence shows.

It was demanded of us that we' grant the machinists a nine hour day, an increase of 19 1-2 per cent. in wages, discontinue piece and contract work and sign an agreement to that effect. This proposition entailed a minimum wags of $2.50 a day. There are several peculiar features to this. It is demanded that we increase, not only the wages of machinists 12 1-2 per cent.

but includes in the same category with machinists, what we call handy men, and takes no consideration of what the men are now receiving or increases they have received in the past. We have Increased our men several times and none of our skilled machinists get less than $2.50 anyway. But as for the helpers and handy men who are organized in a association called the allied metal workers, some of them are not machinists at all any more than that they have been trained under machinists to use special tools designed to do certain kinds of work connected with locomotive building. "We agreed to give the men an Increase of 10 per and in place of a nine-hour day to give them a Saturday half-holiday during the summer months. But they refused to consider this.

Supt. MacNaughton asked to be allowed to meet the men in a body. This was re-. fused. It was suggested by Mr.

MacNaughton that I would meet a committee of the men at my house here in Buffalo at any time most convenient to them. This offer was declined. Mr. MacNaughton further suggested that as the men of the entire works were concerned in the tie-up it be left to a committee representing the various unions connected with the works, to say whether we had not granted all that could reasonably be expected at this time, and in the event that they failed agree that the controversy be referred to an arbitration committee, the arbiters to be selected In the usual way. This was declined also.

INJUSTICE, SAYS MR. STEVENS, "It is manifestly unjust that a special concern like ours be subjected to a general proposition, as it is applied to the trade universally. It is peculiar, moreover, that the demand for the abolishment of piece and contract work was not made upon any of the ten locomotive concerns of the country except our company and Dickson's, which is one of the smallest concerns, with a capacity of only 100 locomotives a year. This demand to discontinue plece work is equivalent to asking 118 to shut up shop, for- unless we can do business on the same basis as our competitors, who are all piece work establishments, it is obvious that we could not do business at all. "There is one other point of this subject." Mr.

Stevens concluded. "It was impossible for us to sign agreement with the machinists, as we them, because. in the agreement drawn up by which our company is taken over by the American Locomotive Company, we pledged that the business would be continued in the international on the same basis as it has been In the past. You can readily understand that we would have no right to enter into agreements on the eve of a transfer that might interfere with or embarrass the policy of our successors." Mr. Stevens, whose recent Illness obliged him to spend several weeks in California, is gradually convalescing, and has been able to take occasional drives.

Her Shipment of Grain is Nearly Double That of Last Year for the Same Time. (By Associated Press.) ALBANY, May 24. The traffic on the State canals since the opening of navigation on May 7 shows a large Increase in the tonnage carried and the number of miles cleared by boats, as compared with the corresponding period of 1900. This is particularly true of the shipments of grain from Buffalo, which have been very large this year.

What are you going to do about Saturday half-holidays this summer?" Mr.

I fell sure something definite will be accomplished should be made to tax mortgages.

It is idle to attempt equality taxation by a system which is necessarily ineffective. The real estate owner derives benefit from free competition of capital, in that he can borrow at the lowest rate of interest. The holder of real estate, certainly in our cities, expects to receive a normal income on his property after paying taxes, but the unfortunate holder of mortgages or other personal securities who is caught by the assessor in the probate court or elsewhere is compelled to pay in effect an income tax of from 40 to 60 per cent. It is idle to expect that such a tax can be collected under any form of self assessment. "It is not within the this paper to discuss how the wealth invested in personal securities mortgages shall be taxed, but certainly it should be by an effective and not an ineffective system, and it should be the first requisite of any rational system of taxation that the assessor should only assess what he can see and value."

Anna Derricks, living at 159 South Railroad avenue, East Buffalo, was the victim of a clever swindler last Monday morning, and as a result she is out $70. The case was reported to the police of the Seneca Street Station this morning and a general order has been issued for the swindler's arrest. According to the story told by the police, a good-looking young man, well dressed, called at Mrs. Derricks' home early last Monday morning and said he had read an advertisement in one of the dally papers that she wanted roomers and he came to engage a suite of rooms. He gave his name as Henry S.

Derricks returned home from the Exposition parade. Williams then had a conversation with her. He suggested that she, having such a large house, ought to furnish it in such shape that she could accommodate several more people, and stated that for about $75 he would be able to furnish a number of mere rooms. He told Mrs. Derricks he had a friend in the furniture business and could get the furnishings cheaper than she could, and asked her to give him the and he would go up town and buy the goods.

Mrs. Derricks only had $70 and this she gave to Williams. He left the house at once and said he would return in a few hours. Nothing has been seen of him since. Shortly after Williams left the house another young man called and inquired for a room.

He wanted to know if Willlams was rooming there, and after being told the story of the $70 he hurriedly left the house. The police have a good description of both sharpers and hope te catch them.
